Description:

It introduces and explains the concept of the absolute value which is nothing but a number's distance from 0 on the number line. The distance is always expressed as a positive value. With the help of video and more examples, you will learn how to find the absolute value of numbers. For example, the absolute values of -4.2 & 4.2 are both 4.2.

Understand p + q as the number located a distance |q| from p, in the positive or negative direction depending on whether q is positive or negative. Show that a number and its opposite have a sum of 0 (are additive inverses). Interpret sums of rational numbers by describing real-world contexts.
